Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Celebrated our first wedding anniversary here. The staff and food were amazing. Couldn't do enough for us and even upgraded our room! Will definitely be back. Got the impression that the staff loved the hotel as much ads we did. Great Weekend .

United StatesThis booking was the happiest surprise we encountered on our time in England! While we knew we had booked a lovely hotel near our destination, the service was so exceptional that it quickly became the most memorable part of our visit. Zoe, Josh, Georgia, and Carlos made us feel like family. They were incredibly personable and accommodating to our group of 8 (sisters and mother!) and facilitated an incredible evening dining in their restaurant that will live in our memories forever. The food was extraordinary (we even asked that they bring out the chefs--it was THAT good!), the charming ambiance and location absolute perfection, but the attention to detail and genuine care of the staff is what made our stay a 15/10. We were all so excited to go to breakfast after the wonderful evening and the 3-course meal did not disappoint! And the morning staff were also lovely and caring. The rooms are each uniquely decorated and extremely comfortable. We were greeted with fresh cookies, waters, teas, and hot chocolate. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated and the beds were comfortable. We loved walking the property and town and would be thrilled to stay here again. Cannot recommend highly enough--it was the experience of a lifetime!

United KingdomThe fact that we could only stay 1 night..
A delightful country house hotel by the side of the river Wye. The staff were exceptional.. anticipating our every need.. The food was absolutely delicious, with lots of lovely treats like mini Bakewell tarts with a pot of tea, choux buns in our room and warm scones to die for! It goes without saying that dinner was outstanding.

United KingdomWe loved everything about our stay. We are already planning our next trip!
The hotel is located in a picturesque little village in the peak district and the building itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is very quiet and peaceful there. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming and took amazing care of us. Breakfast was a stand out - it was served in three courses but very well proportioned and it was delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
